Whitwell Station Campsite

Positiv Trees to pitch up hammock

Negativ Very limited curfew/ anti disturb techniques at the camp. Had a coach going back and forth till midnight and had people laughing and chatting through the night. When I texted the owner they never replied at all.

Positiv Very Nice site, very quite and friendly with the free vintage railway next door.
We stayed for classic car run that was starting at the station. The owner let us keep our vans onside for a extra day as we couldn't pick them up until the afternoon. Definitely staying again. 😁😁😁😁

Positiv They have toilets and a shower

Negativ The aggressive welcome to what is a trailer park didn't improve the feeling that we were camping on what was otherwise the parking spot for the full time residents. We booked 3 nights but got out of there after one night.
My advice is, book one night and see what you think. There are other sights near the mariot way that wecome arrivals.

Vom Platzbetreiber: If you could explain the aggressive welcome. What was said to you and did you have your email and pitch number ready? Once on site where you shown where everything was and did you need anything that wasn't catered for?

Positiv Everything!! The caravan had everything we could need and stayed cool in 32c heat!! We had a wonderful time and Steve was a very communicative host. We will definitely come back.

Negativ Nothing.

Positiv Peace and tranquility. Lovely pub in local village

Negativ Toilets and showers not very clean, water too hot to have a proper shower.
Whitwell station bar/restaurant closed at 5pm.
Some areas on site needs a bit of tlc.

Hard pitches so not able to use awning. Only told as we were leaving thar we could have asked them for some water weights.

Site ok for a 1 or 2 night stop over.

Positiv Level pitches on the hardstanding, water and electric right by each pitch.
Very quiet.

Negativ Tap kept leaking outside, although it didn't bother us, it might in the summer when the windows are open.

Positiv Pleasant, quiet area.

Negativ Prior to arrival we were emailed and advised that we were on pitch 11. On arrival, pitch 11 was a hard standing with a caravan already on it, so if we had have gone on that pitch we would have been a meter away from that caravan. There is no reception, so we phoned the site manager who arrived swiftly and said there had been a mistake and he directed us to the correct pitch. The water tap wasn’t working on the pitch and the neighbouring pitches, the water spurted out, so it was impossible not to get wet. The electric hook up wasn’t working, so we were advised to use the socket on the next pitch. During our stay the man on the next pitch advised us that he was metered for the hook up we were using, so he was being charged for the electric we were using. He spoke to the site manager to resolve this.
There was one shower, two toilets and a urinal. My partner used the toilet on the Friday afternoon, when he went over to the toilets the next morning, they hadn’t been cleaned and there was no toilet roll. This is completely unacceptable. Toilets should be cleaned regularly. When using the shower, the water didn’t drain away, so we were standing in about 4 inches of water.
The site needs a good tidy up in order to keep up with other sites. We won’t be going there again.

Vom Platzbetreiber: I'm sorry to here you had a bad experience. All of your issues were dealt with straight away by the site manager! The toilets are cleaned every morning. The issue could of been that the cleaner hadn't been there before you used the toilet in the morning. Was the site manager informed about the problem with the water not draining away? We have solved any problems that arissed. If we're not told of the problem straight away we can't solve it!

Positiv Very spacious good hook up good value for money would definitely go again good food in the sideings and beer good value for money and cakes outstanding
